| What this does: | |
| - Given any vector tile layer in .pbf format, and a poylgon or similar shape, | |
| - Extracts all the data from the vector tile layer falling over that shape, | |
| - And save it to local disk as a .gpkg shapefile which you can further use | |
| - If the vector tile layer had multiple layers, then .gpkg will have all those layers |
